Class inheritance from another class.

[FBHSIE]

How to implement this UML diagram is confusing me quite a bit, and I don't think I did it entirely correctly. However system, I had to make some edits since what you're doing in some parts isn't what my professor wants. I'm pretty sure mine is off a bit too...but the way he set this up is confusing me.

Got three errors.

[z05DSL3A]

FBHSIE, have you been told to implement the UML as is or just use it as a guide and add what you think you need?

[FBHSIE]

We've been told to follow the UML, but I'm sure as long as we follow most of it, he won't mind a few changes.

[z05DSL3A]

If you are not meant to be changing it you need to take a closer look at your code...

class GradedActivity
{
public:
    void setScore(double s);
    double getScore();
    std::string getGrade();
    
private:
    std::string score;
    
};

class Essay :GradedActivity
{
public:
    Essay();
    
    void setGrammer(double aGrammer);
    double getGrammer();
    double setSpelling(int aSpelling);
    double getSpelling();
    void setCorrectLength(double aCorrectLength);
    double getCorrectLength();
    void setContent(double aContent);
    double getContent();
    void setScore();
    void displayPoints();
    
    
private:
    double grammer;
    double spelling;
    double correctLength;
    double content;
};

NB: I don't know what - correctLength:double : int is meant to be in the UML, you may need to check that.

[FBHSIE]

That's a mistake. We'll use double.

Is this UML makes sense to you? I'm just curious.

[z05DSL3A]

Apart from the two type definitions on correctLength it makes sense. Storing the score in GradedActivity as a string seems odd but that could be a test or to force you to write converters in the setter and getter.

setSpelling may also be wrong in the UML but that is more a semantic issue instead of syntactic.

[FBHSIE]

I'm pretty sure GradedActivity was meant to be a double. I'm not sure about the spelling. What else needs to be done?

[z05DSL3A]

Write the bodies for all the functions, I haven't looked to closely at the code you have posted but it looks like with a bit of refactoring you have all you need.

I would recommend that you clearly comment assumptions that you make about how you interpret the assignment. If you do interpret it wrong at least it shows you are thinking about it.

[FBHSIE]

I assume firstly in main I enter the scores of an essay, make sure the input is valid according to the homework instructions, and then make the Essay object which instantly calls the constructor which then passes the values inputted in the userInput into the variables in the set methods in the essay and gradedActivity class. From there, I expected the the score to be calculated in the setScore method in gradedActivity and for the gradedActivity to set the grade according to the score variable which used the input from main to get a value.

From there, I expected the classes to be done with their job (although I still have no idea what the displayPrint is for) but I'm just trying to form pieces of the puzzle.

Then, in main, as you can see, I wanted to show the values using my return methods in the class. That's it.

This is my code

In your header, look at line 9 and 75 and compare it to what I posted here: http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/195531/3/#msg940013

[FBHSIE]

Spotted the differences. Corrected them. I updated my code with the new list or errors (scroll up).

At least it fixed most of my issues in main.

[Naughty Albatross]

> At least it fixed most of my issues in main.
Is there any output sample? Do you need to strickly follow it?

Why didn't you choose my output? My program output looks neater, at least.

[FBHSIE]

Oh. It didn't quite match the UML diagram. I think that's what we're all trying to figure out. Btw, get on slack.

Wait for me for three hours (until morning). It is still bedtime. I am not near my computer now.
